Chapter 47

SILVER LAKE VALERIA Tell me if you can comply with that condition , or I will leave my position right now , King Aldric .

I am not your prisoner , I confronted him for the first time , raising my chin , ready to resist his whims and selfishness .

However , Aldric just stared at me in silence .

I could feel his entire body tense , as if he were struggling with an internal enemy , resisting with all his strength .

In his gray eyes , the beast inside him flickered , tinged with red , like his lycan form .

I sank onto the bench beside the table , my legs weak , but feeling proud of myself .

I could only hope the walls around my heart were strong enough to withstand His Majestys siege .

The next day , we departed for the Silver Lake pack in a carriage I shared with the woman who always accompanied Guardian Quinn .

Outside , on horseback , rode His Majesty , while Quinn was driving the carriage .
